Keeping your workplace safe isn’t just a legal obligation — it’s smart business. Safe environments mean fewer accidents, happier employees, and reduced workers’ compensation claims. Here’s the good news: Proactive risk management can help your clients achieve all of this and more. At Landmark Wholesale, we specialize in giving agents the tools to help businesses prioritize workplace safety and compliance. By working together, we can make workplace injuries less frequent, keep costs down, and improve outcomes for everyone.
Why Investing in Workplace Safety Pays Off
Think of proactive risk management as preventive care for a business. Just like a routine check-up can address a health issue before it gets serious, focusing on safety now prevents accidents — and high costs — later.
What’s in it for your clients?
- Fewer claims: Accidents cost money. When businesses take steps to avoid them, they see fewer workers’ comp claims.
- Compliance made simple: State and OSHA regulations can be a headache, but the rules are there for a reason. Proactive measures help businesses comply with the law and avoid penalties.
- A thriving team: Employees who feel safe are more productive, loyal, and engaged.
According to the National Safety Council, preventable workplace injuries cost society $167 billion in 2022, including $50.7 billion in lost productivity and $37.6 billion in medical expenses. On average, each medically consulted injury cost $40,000, while a workplace fatality cost $1.39 million. These are costs no one wants to carry.
Actionable Safety Strategies Your Clients Can Use
Prevention goes a long way in minimizing workplace injuries and claims. Here are some strategies to share with your clients.
Build a Safety Plan That Works
Every business has unique risks. A retail shop’s safety concerns differ from those of a construction site. Encourage clients to regularly assess their risks and involve their employees in identifying potential hazards. When everyone is on board, safety becomes a shared priority.
Train Like It Matters — Because It Does
Safety training isn’t a one-and-done deal. Regular training ensures employees know how to handle equipment, emergencies, and daily hazards. With Landmark, your clients can access easy-to-use training resources, whether they prefer online platforms or in-person sessions.
Encourage Reporting Without Fear
Employees are the eyes and ears of the workplace. Empower them to speak up about potential dangers. When businesses listen, they can fix problems before they turn into accidents.
Let Tech Lend a Hand
From wearables that track worker activity to real-time safety dashboards, technology can be a game-changer. In one study, wearable tech reduced injury frequency by 50% to 60% and lost workdays by 72%. Tools like Landmark’s dynamic claims portal can also make it easier for clients to manage safety, compliance, and even training on one streamlined platform.
How Agents Can Help
As an agent, you’re not simply selling policies — you’re offering peace of mind. Here’s how you can stand out and show your value:
- Share Landmark’s HR and safety platforms with your clients to make safety and compliance feel doable. These tools include training, compliance support, and more.
- Suggest technology or practices that simplify safety monitoring, like the tools Landmark provides.
- Work alongside clients to create customized safety plans that tackle their specific risks.
By helping your clients become proactive, you position yourself as their go-to advisor, not just another insurance agent.
